Content has been the king and will continue to be one in the world of marketing. We have seen how the type of content that is created has changed over time because of the changing need of the customer.
Today’s customer wants more personalized content that addresses his specific demands. So, we can no longer continue to dish out generalized content. Besides, there has been a change in the format of content that the consumers expect. Video content has become more popular compared to written content.
As we step into a brand new year, we must assess the customer behavior of the past year so that we can create content tailored to his needs. The past two years have forced people indoors because of the pandemic. Staying at home has increased content consumption multifold. People are consuming all formats of content. This is good news for content creators! However, this also implies that there will be a lot of content available online. So, if you have to reach your audience, you need to create content that will connect with them.
Whether you have an in-house team or you have outsourced your content writing, there are certain trends in content writing that you must be aware of to reach a wider audience.
Here’s a quick overview of the top trends in content writing for 2022:
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will be More Important than Ever
